Quote:Just outside the visitor’s bullpen at Dick Howser Stadium late Sunday afternoon, a father wearing a garnet-colored Florida State T-shirt leaned in close to ask his son a question.

“Do you want to tell that pitcher over there that he’s about to get lit up?” the dad asked, pointing at Troy freshman pitcher Levi Tate, who was warming up for his fourth career start.

The kid declined the offer.

It didn’t matter, though. While Tate was barely touched in his three-batter outing, three other Trojans pitchers were peppered with extra base hits and one long inning in an 11-4 Seminoles win during the Tallahassee Regional final.
